The Vermont National Guard is composed of the Vermont Army National Guard and the Vermont Air National Guard. Together, they are collectively known as the 'Green Mountain Boys', despite the inclusion of women in both branches since the mid-twentieth century. Both units use the original flag of the Vermont Republic as their banner. Their strength in 2009 was 2,660.



In May 2010, there were 1,500 Vermont soldiers in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
